Hello all,
Being new to QNX (and unix) I need to know how to receive and send email
messages from within an application.
Receiving : no clue what-so-ever 
Sending : Will calling execl (or other function) with a command line
string for vmail with parameters be enough. Won’t I be severely limited
by the max length of such a string ?
My application will be receiving an email about once an hour, and
sending an email about once a day. Would it be better to have some email
program running all of the time, and communicate with it some how ?
Quite experienced with RT / Embedded and other RTOS, just never done
email in an embedded system before. Any input will be welcome.
TIA,
Shmuel Kahn

You might look at the fetchmail package:
